rahul_deshpande1 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 What are y'alls experiences with Arista.EDU? I processed the first 2 rolls of my life in HC 110 last night - HP5 and Arista.EDU 400, both in 120. The HP5 came out fine, good density, no streaks, very little curl etc.However, the Arista.EDU came out with a greenish tint and lots of curl. It is still a-curl between my prized versions of 2004 and 2005 yellow books. I think I developed for too long (7 mins) in Dil B. Any thoughts?

jack_pien1 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Hi Rahul, that is my experience with Arista.EDU as well. According to Freestyle, the green tint and curl is normal. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffcallen Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I haven't used Arista EDU film, but I've developed curly 120 film, especially Berger 200... In the winter, I used a humidifier in the room where the film was drying, left the film to hang overnight hung from a clothesline with heavy clips at the bottom and it was much less curly the next morning. I don't think developing time had any effect on curl. I wouldn't worry about a greenish tint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustys pics Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 If you think that's curly, try some Efke 25 roll film! The effort is worth if for the Efke though. As for the Arista EDU 400, I just don't think you can buy a better 120 film than Ilford HP-5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lloyd_lim Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I use Diafine and usually, I would do a prewash with water. That gets rid of the green tint. Unfortunately, as I use 4x5 - I can't help you with any curl :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
